South Korean prosecutors released President Yoon Seok-yol

South Korean prosecutors have released Yun Seok-yeol, who was arrested on charges of sedition after the country imposed a short-term martial law.

According to Yonhap, prosecutors had previously expressed concerns that the president, while at large, would try to destroy evidence and meet with people involved in the case after a court decision to revoke his arrest warrant. However, they have now decided not to appeal the court's decision.

According to available information, Yun Seok-yeol has already left the detention center. He was met by his supporters.

The Seoul Central District Court decided yesterday to cancel the arrest and release Yun Seok-yeol. The judges found that prosecutors were several hours late in filing formal charges for the rebellion.

In mid-January, the High-level Anti-Corruption Bureau arrested Yoon Seok-yol on charges of sedition against the constitutional order due to the martial law events. Then the Western District Court of Seoul decided to arrest him. Follow “Zamin” news on “Telegram”
